Regulation 26 Savings and transitional provision
Where, in relation to any pension, supplement is being paid immediately before the date when these regulations come into force under the Overseas Service (Pensions Supplement) Regulations 1977f1 and the amount of supplement being paid is higher than the amount which would be payable at that date under these regulations—
that amount of supplement may continue to be paid as if it were the amount payable at that date under these regulations (but subject like that amount to revision on any relevant change of circumstances); and
for the purpose of the application to the pension of any order under section 59 of the Social Security Act 1975 which comes into force after these regulations come into force, the amount of the basic rate as increased by the amount of any increase under section 1 of the Act or any existing Orders in force before these regulations come into force shall be determined under Part I of the Act as applied by the Overseas Service (Pensions Supplement) Regulations 1977, where that produces a higher amount than the amount determined under Part I of the Act as applied by Part III.
Supplement on any payments of pension which fall due before these regulations come into force shall be calculated under the Overseas Service (Pensions Supplement) Regulations 1977, notwithstanding that supplement is only applied for or paid when these Regulations are in force.
